N, 16 Nov 2010Wow, I was gonna get this phone (currently have HD2) but no memory card slot is unforgivable! ... moreAs a real IT professional I will tell you this: buy USB flash, phone is not removable storage! And where did you find "3rd part computer" with microSD card reader and without bluetooth or WiFi? Or lead(?), whatever you meant by that.

I have purchased one of these from Carphone Warehouse here in London. They said it would arrive in about a week, so I'm waiting. I currently own a Samsung Galaxy S, but the "jerkiness" and "lag" have totally ruined the Android experience for me. Prior to that, I owned a Dell Streak - that was even worse.

This is just my personal opinion, but having owned an iPhone 3 for 2 years and currently owning an iPhone 4 and a Dell Streak and Samsung Galaxy S (and using the dev tools for all of the above), I find Android clunky. It has a very "unprofessional" (for want of a better word) feel to it. I'm not saying Android is a bad thing - it has much to offer. But for me personally, the "user experience" is horrible.

I'm going to be a pioneer and will give the HTC HD7 a shot, see if this can revive my mobile universe. I'm fully aware that many things are missing (like cut 'n paste etc) and that the app store is in its infancy, but I'm willing to wait so long as browsing is responsive and buttery smooth and there's full Exchange integration.

I also admire M$ for having the guts to jump into the mobile arena with something so new and original. I don't like the idea of lining that bald fatso Blamer's pockets, but this device looks so interesting that I'm going try it out for a while.

Wow, I was gonna get this phone (currently have HD2) but no memory card slot is unforgivable! As an IT professional there have been a few occasions when i need to download something to a card and transfer that to a 3rd part computer without a lead or bluetooth - with this it would be impossible...

This series (HD) is the perfect except one thing, the fact that HTC only puts windows on them, windows sucks, and I hope the HTC realizes this really soon, and starts putting more android on them

All the HD 7 or Windows Phone 7 cribbers remind of the days of iPhone 2G. You had the same whining. But then you had Installer come in and still there was whining. Grow up people. Microsoft have delivered a superb OS in comparison to iOS4.

Have patience and let it grow. Otherwise buy a phone that full fills all your daily demands. Im sure there are plenty out there, namely Android OS Devices!

Having seen this phone 'in the flesh', you just want to scrawl the word 'shame'! One thing still terrifies me, no memory card slot. Well their is but it looks like an 'invalidate your warranty one'. Come on HTC, surely if you can put flash browser into a desire, you can modify WP7 to have memory card support? Let's be honest the HTC HD2 has a slot I believe. This is a locked to windows servers phone aka Microsoft does Iphone clone!

A missed opportunity, HTC Desire HD anyone?

A great phone, but if you struggle to put your collection of vids and music on it, maybe there are a lot of plus points for Nokia N8 afterall (Am slowly warming to my N8, may have a small screen but with HDMI output no problem is it)

At least this one is dedicated to HD7.On a device that I want to listen to music, watch videos and install a load of apps I have to do THAT just to upgrade the memory?! Microsoft, why are taking a step backward from my lovely HD2?
Well done Microsoft for stealing the dumbest idea from the iphone (and the reason why I won't buy either of them).

i'd appreciate it if someone could answer a couple of questions i have. i am interested in purchasing the hd7 but i noticed it doesn't support divx/xvid. what is divx/xvid? does this mean i won't be able to view avi and mkv movie files on this handset? i've downloaded and installed it on my computer many times in the past but never new exactly what it is/does, only that it's a "codec" and that i need it to watch movies on my media player.
